Kate Mara and Ellen Page Are Scheming to Star in True Detective Season 2

What would you say to an all-female team for True Detective season 2? That would certainly put some of the “macho” concerns around season 1 to rest. Series creator Nic Pizzolatto himself has hinted beforethat season 2 will be much more female-focused, and has promised “hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system.” Every actress in Hollywood is probably chomping at the bit to take on Pizzolatto’s rich and highly addictive world, but few have made their desires quite as transparent as House of Cards alum Kate Mara. It all started with a cheeky tweet from Mara’s friend and fellow actress Ellen Page.

What do you think? Are you down for Tiny Detectives? We dreamcast Mara for season 2 long ago, and with this totally official HBO endorsement, we’re ready to set our DVRs. It’s true that a little racial diversity might be nice in season 2, but Mara and Page flirting with each other all through Tiny Detectives might be just the delightful edge the show needs to leave the memory of McConaughey and Harrelson behind.
